Raw Shea Butter – 100% Pure Unrefined African Shea Butter with Natural Smoky Scent | Deep Moisturizer for Dry Skin, Hair & Scalp | DIY Body Butter, Lip Balm & Soap Base (8 oz Block)

Bought this to use on my lips because I was tired of using chapsticks and balms with a bunch of other junk in them, just wanted to go straight to the source to keep my lips hydrated through winter. I can't fault the product, the packaging is clean and to be fair the butter is a lovely texture, easy to apply, seems high quality. I think my only feedback and the reason I ended up returning this was the smell. Granted, I bought it knowing that it would have a smell. I was just expecting it to be nutty and smoky like the product description suggests (I'd never actually smelled raw shea before). I know everyone's definitions of scent are a little different but I'm not sure I know anyone who would have described the smell as nutty and smoky. I feel like that's being a little too polite. Or maybe it just could do with a mention that it can come off stronger than expected. When I popped the cap I immediately thought it smells like a tire store. I brought it to my husband and asked him what he thought it smelled like and he said it smelled like burnt rubber. I think it wouldn't have been terrible to tolerate if I wasn't planning to use it on my lips which are right under my nose. It was definitely too whiffy there. That said, because this seems like a solid product I did go and instead order the refined version for the similar effects of shea without the harsh smell. Also, feel like this needs to be said, I'd consider going for the refined version anyway if you have a known latex allergy. As soon as I put the shea on my lips they started to tingle uncomfortably, and later so did my mouth. I did some research on why that would be when shea is considered to be fairly un-allergenic and found that raw shea can contain traces of natural latex, which I'm allergic to. Not saying that's what was happening, but it was a similar reaction to when I eat too many figs, or underripe figs, which contain latex in their sap, too. Though supposedly the refined version wheedles most of the latex out. Be wary and always patch test if you're not sure, just wanted to mention because I'm not sure the latex and shea thing is widely known or observed.

Update: After my original review of the unrefined version the company reached out to me. Great customer service! I decided to try the unscented version and am so glad I did. It's perfect for my sensitive nose. No aroma at all. And the product is doing wonders for my skin after just two days. After sleeping with it on all night I wake up with skin that does not feel dry but moisturizer. Can't wait to see what happens after a week, a month and longer. Apparently raw shea butter both hydrates and moisturizes, unlike other oils and fats. It sinks into the skin AND provides a protective layer. ORIGINAL POST. For a while I've wanted to try pure shea butter for it's great moisturizing properties. Aware that the smell can be a bit much I bought this anyway. The texture is great and it absorbs well. Not greasy at all. My hands feel great. For this is give five stars. The smell, however, is too much for my sensitive nose. It definitely has a smokey aroma and a bit of a chemical smell. It's not something I can use because of it. So for aroma I give it one star, or rather zero. Average it out and it's three stars for me. I'll be passing it along to someone else.

I recently had the opportunity to try this product, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every respect.

It integrates seamlessly into daily routines, making it both convenient and enjoyable to use. The overall experience feels refined and well-crafted. In addition, the value it provides is remarkable. It strikes an excellent balance between quality and affordability, making it accessible without compromising on standards. It’s rare to find a product that combines efficiency, durability, and user satisfaction so effectively. I would confidently recommend this product to anyone looking for a dependable and high-quality solution. It has certainly earned my endorsement, and I believe it’s something everyone should try at least once.

As someone who prepares my own beauty products, finding a high-quality base is essential, and this unrefined Shea butter is a total game-changer. What I love most is the consistency. Because it’s unrefined, it retains all its natural vitamins and fatty acids, which makes a noticeable difference in the richness of my creams and body butters.

I got this product last April and immediately requested a refund. It is not pure Shea butter; it looks greenish, and has some chunky pieces, which give me the feeling that it is mixed with something that has a different melting temperature
